Garrett defends playcalling in loss to Packers

Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett offered no apologies for the one-dimensional attack the Cowboys displayed in losing 17-7 at Green Bay on Sunday.

Garrett said that for the most part the Cowboys usually have a balanced attack. He said circumstances dictated that he call only 11 running plays against the Packers, pointing out that the Cowboys trailed by three scores with 10 minutes left.

“That’s something that I think we’ve done a good job of this year,” Garrett said of being balanced. “You always want to attack the defense with as many things as you can. It starts with the run and pass. It starts with running it inside, running it outside, throwing it long, throwing it short and using different personnel groups and different players. That’s what we’re always trying to do. Sometimes game situations throw that out of whack.”
